    I'm blessed to have lodged these humble & conscious guys in my little apartment in Sweden at the end of the seventies. They were just satisfied with vegetables, as they're vegetarians. I'd apologise for serving them meat. This interview highlights a lot with what we were taught at schools & other educational faculties. There were more & probably more educated fools amongst the blacks & coloured people. People who stood up against racism, oppression, segregation & human rights violations, will never be forgotten. Some names've been mentioned in the interview.
    There're many, many more, like Rosa Park, Patrice Lumumba, Elijah Muhammad, Stokely Carmichael, Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, Rap Brown, Bob Marley, Thomas Sankara, Luis Farrakhan & many, many others, that contribute to a better & worthwhile living conditions for humanity.
    There're obviously many conscious white people, who also participated in this struggle, who became enemies of the state. They were liquidated. As they did to Patrice, Malcolm, Martin Luther, JFK, Bobby Kennedy, Sankara & many,more. The education offered was somehow controlled. I'll quote Pink Floyd < Another Brick In The Wall> The great walls of Babylon 've fallen, the great Empires, even the youngest of them all, the British Empire.

    Wonderful interview with David Hinds, one of several visionary musical artists that inspired a generation in the 70s, and have continued to do so ever since.
    Bands like Steel Pulse, Aswad, Misty in Roots, Matumbi & dub poet Linton Kwesi Johnson were the UKs most influential reggae music bands.
    I grew up in Wembley, London in the 60s and 70s and I saw and witnessed many of things he speaks about.

    As a punk in 77 I and many other punks loved Steel Pulse and identified with the hassle and oppression the Rastas and blacks were getting. I managed to see them play live at Portsmouth in 79. Johhny Rotten said he loved Steel Pulse and The Stranglers loved the Pulse too. I couldn't get hold of a Steel Pulse badge to wear so I made one myself using Airfix paints, I felt so proud wearing that badge. Still love Steel Pulse today and 'Tribute to the Martyrs' is my favourite reggae album.

    This is from a comment I left on their first Peel session.
    I'm sure there are still many of you out there not familiar with Steel Pulse. Let's recount the scene back in the mid 1970's. First off, this is a BRITISH band, not Jamaican and their audience at the outset was largely black youth born in England. They loved Bob Marley and the Wailers and embraced Rastafarianism. This new music in Britain was fueled mostly by self contained bands, not by individual singers and these bands found great success not only in England but in other countries like Germany, France and USA. Birmingham's Steel Pulse was the most successful of all these UK bands, touring extensively, sometimes with punk bands. (They are the reggae band I have seen more than any other)
    They were formed in 1975 by three friends in the Handsworth area of Birmingham. Originally a trio with a couple of singles, they expanded to a septet and that is what gives their music such a unique, layered sound. When they signed to Island Records (Bob Marley's label) they were exposed to a much larger audience and their debut LP Handsworth Revolution, delivered the goods in spades. This is a CLASSIC ROOTS REGGAE ALBUM and left little doubt that a non Jamaican band could play reggae with the best of them.
    Got to big up the man John Peel again. This session was recorded about 10 months BEFORE the release of Handsworth Revolution. So once again he had the foresight to champion a band way before anyone else. All four of these Peel session songs appeared on that album so these are early versions of very famous songs, and as such are fascinating to hear.
    Steel Pulse were joined by Aswad, Cimarons, Misty In Roots, Black Slate, Matumbi, Capitol Letters, and Black Roots in the flowering of reggae in England. These bands proved beyond a doubt that first class reggae could be created outside Jamaica.

    Being from the states I never once thought reggae from Jamaica was more real than anywhere else but I understand it analogous to rap music here as opposed to the rest of the world , if a rapper doesn't sound American there no way to make big here( for example 21 Savage), that being said roots reggae in particular, bands from around the world has kept it alive , there are many that should have been super stars

    My earliest introduction to social conscious reggae was precisely in 1982 as a youth in the then newly independent Zimbabwe when I bought the Steele Pulse vinyl albums Caught You Dancing and Handsworth Revolution. The voice of David Hinds just mesmerized me. I was later to realize that this was indeed British Reggae alongside other defining groups of that time like Matumbi, Aswad, Misty in Roots and UB40. The last three British reggae groups even came on tour to my country at that period and whose concerts I attended with much fanfare and pride.
